Chile¡¯s most recent grape harvest saw volumes fall 10% after heavy rainfalls coupled with record hot temperatures and forest fires over the summer, the second year in a row when the country¡¯s wine production was cut short, according to a report by Bloomberg citing estimates by the country¡¯s Agriculture Ministry.

 

This has threatened to push up costs for the country¡¯s largest wine producer Viña Concha y Toro.

 

Higher costs and the effect of a strong peso will also play out to affect Concha y Toro¡¯s exports, according to BTG Pactual.

 

Chilean bank Banchile, warned earlier this year that that wildfires fuelled by the high temperatures will adversely affect grapes and wine production in 2017, ¡°eliminating any potential growth for the industry¡±.
